Saturday surprise

What happened to our friend, he used to be so involved in God's work? Often people in our lives seem to just drop off the face of the earth or they have been given the gift of disappearing. It saddens many when someone that once was a giant for the Lord shuts down, goes AWOL, finds other interests that they believe will give more fulfilment or the old life drags them back and now we don't see or hear from them anymore. We hear about this type of situation every once in a while and it saddens and confuses us. As always Diane and I continue to pray for each and everyone of you because God is so good and has so much to offer each and every one of us. Life never gets boring when you are walking in God's annointing.

Work- day at the ranch was one of the best ever. The weather was a bit breezy and cool but the hearts of everyone were so warm, and everyone had such a great time. Jack came from Kindersley and was a great help all day and will stay for church tomorrow. Dale came out again and blessed us with his willingness to work hard nonstop. Zelda and Durantt worked hard getting those trees cleared out, it looks like a whole new place in the woods. We did everything from starting to peel forms off the grade beam at the shop, to building a small garden shed, moving the firepit into the trees and making sure it's safe. We also got a lot of trees cleaned up, chopped down lots of the dead trees, cleaned up the dead fall and stacked the lumber for the firepit.

Blaine and Keith worked hard at building the garden shed while Elisa and Tina planted more garden with the help of Peg and Djuan and 8 helpful little children. Should be ready for the men's retreat which will be in a couple of weeks. (So make sure you're registered if you want to come!)

Lunch was prepared by Peg Huber and her daughter Djuan and was it ever another great meal. Somehow eating outside in the fresh air after a good mornings work tastes so wonderful. We were all very blessed and filled to the top.

Titus 2:11-12 (New International Version)

^"11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. ¹²It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."

Fresh coffee is now available, thanks to Shelly ordering that great machine, she continues to to bless the Ranch with her knowledge and willingness to get things done.

Thanks so much to all of you, we so appreciate all you're doing and all the prayers for safety and for the wisdom to keep pressing on as the Lord leads.

We so appreciate the wonderful baking thats been done, we were so blessed again with fresh buns and all kinds of delicious baking.

Thanks Brigitte and Cheryl, you gals are great!
